Jamaican Woman

Strong woman,
Jamaican woman,
A friend, a mother, a lover,
Forced sometimes to play,
The role of a father;
For some just aren’t man enough,
To do the job.

Proud woman,
Jamaican woman,
Standing beside her man,
Loving, nurturing, providing,
Giving of herself to her family.

Warm woman,
Compassionate woman,
A queen in her own rights,
Walking proudly,
Her head held high,
I salute you,
Jamaican woman.
